Deep water culture hydroponics is an efficient, water-saving and easy-to-manage hydroponic technology that uses floating plates to plant plants in a water tank filled with nutrient solution, and the roots of the plants are completely immersed in the nutrient solution.
Composition of deep water culture hydroponics
Kickboard
The floating plate is the core component of the lettuce hydroponic system
and is made of lightweight, water-resistant materials (such as foam board, plastic board or polystyrene board, etc.).
Sink or tank
A tank or trough is used to hold the nutrient solution in deep water culture kit .
Characteristics of deep water culture hydroponics
Complete immersion of roots:
Plant roots are completely immersed in the nutrient solution, deep water culture kit providing a more even supply of water and nutrients than other hydroponic systems.
Adequate oxygen supply:
Oxygen is provided via an air pump and air stone, automated hydroponic grow box ensuring the roots have access to adequate oxygen in the liquid for healthy growth.
Save water and fertilizer:
The automated hydroponic grow box avoids a large amount of water and fertilizer waste by recycling the nutrient solution.
Uses of deep water culture hydroponics
Vegetable planting:
Deep water culture kit is widely used in the cultivation of various leafy vegetables (such as lettuce, spinach, romaine lettuce, etc.).
Strawberry cultivation:
The hydroponic vegetable garden indoor can provide sufficient water and oxygen, which is conducive to the healthy growth and high yield of strawberries.
Flower cultivation:
The hydroponic vegetable garden indoor is suitable for certain flowers that have high demands for water and nutrients, such as chrysanthemums, roses, etc.
